Director

Hi, I'm Peter and I'm a Director in the Global Digital and Technology Search Practice. 
I'm based in the Midlands but deliver assignments all over the world. I'm a highly experienced Global CXO, Digital &amp; Technology Leadership Search Consultant who has developed a strong track record of success over the course of the last 20 years.
I've worked with a range of companies from large corporates through to start up enterprises, delivering a number of high profile, executive level technology and change assignments with a particular focus across the Retail, Consumer, FMCG and Supply Chain Sectors.
Example roles that I recruit for include:
<ul>
<li>CIO</li>
<li>CTO</li>
<li>CDO</li>
<li>Global VP Engineering and Product</li>
<li>Global Transformation Director</li>
<li>IT Director</li>
</ul>
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family as well as going on walks with our very energetic cocker spaniel! I volunteer coaching my sons football team on Saturday mornings, recently winning league promotion. I enjoy socialising, travelling and watching a variety of sports.
The best piece of advice I've received is, "The harder you work, the luckier you get!"
